A new high-profile scandal is breaking out in the social network - a former member of the choir of one of the district Palaces of Children's and Youth Creativity in Kyiv, 23-year-old Kyivan, director

Hanna Khizhnyak

publicly revealed that several years ago she was repeatedly raped by a man who was the head of the choir at the time.

In less than a day,

almost 2,000 Ukrainians reacted to her post on

Facebook , several hundred expressed their support and wished to see the matter through.

In her post, Hanna Khizhnyak talked about the commission of a serious crime against her.

"The rapist is always to blame. But, unfortunately, this rule does not apply in the Zirnytsia choir, where

the Honored Teacher of Ukraine molested, molested and even raped minor girls

," Khyzhnyak wrote. "

And I became one of the victims ."

.

I joined the choir in 2012, when I was 12 years old.

I moved from another city, where I had no friends, but there were many complexes that "he" took advantage of.

The first year everything was innocent: a new hobby, new people, the first concerts and a trip abroad.

But in the winter of 2013, everything changed.

After the concert, I went to bring the suit.

Of the teachers then, there was only "he".

It was after the New Year.

"He" began to congratulate me on the holidays, kissed me on the cheek - once, kissed the other shock - twice, sucked on my lips, keeping his hands on my chest - three.

Shock.

Incomprehension.

Stupor.

It was saved by the fact that another girl entered the office."

And across from him on the top shelf (where there are 4 seats) sleeps his wife, who is also the leader of this choir.

Fear.

Fear of screaming.

Fear that she might not sleep and will scream and accuse me that I seduced him.

And I walked with this fear and remained silent for 9 years.

I felt guilty that nature gave me a size 6 breast, a proportional figure and plump lips.

Caught, molested, sex.

With me as a minor

."

And to this, the author of the post added: "At the age of 22, I first found the strength to share what was happening to me. My husband found out about it, who supported me. What do you think, how to tell your husband that the first person you had

, is that a perverted grandpa in his 70s with a wife and two sons? The grandpa who took you to a private apartment to rape you. The

grandpa in the next office bending your head to fuck him when behind the wall, his wife is singing with other girls."

In a comment for

TSN.ua

, the author of the post once again confirmed the published information.

"In the post, I wrote about what I am sure of," Hanna answered us firmly.

 To our question about where the rape took place, Hanna answered as follows: "It was in an institution that I can't name yet. It was in a separate apartment, where he took, I'm sure, not only me. It all happened in Kyiv. When everything it happened for the first time, I was 13 years old."

When asked why she remained silent for so many years, Hanna answered the following: "There was a fear that I would be left guilty, despite the fact that I am a child. He is simply idolized there in the literal sense of the word. I am very glad that some girls now responded and can help me in this process, to reach the law enforcement agencies. At that time, I was alone, I was afraid."

According to Hanna, she is currently looking for witnesses and is preparing an appeal to the law enforcement officers.

In addition, Hanna explained why she published this post now.

"When I told my husband and parents, my husband and I went to this institution. He (the offender - Ed.) was released. It was morally difficult for me. His favorites, the chorus girls, were against me. Morally, I was not ready for anything. I I needed time to work with a psychotherapist, with whom I still communicate. Then the war started, it was not good enough," the woman clarified.

To a clarifying question about how many rapes were committed against her, Hanna answered: "Several times."

Summarizing, Hanna Khizhnyak added that she does not announce the name of the offender in public: "I cannot name the name because I am currently preparing to appeal to the law enforcement authorities and I cannot disclose the name and surname."

He stated that "this person must be put in his place"

From its own sources, TSN.ua found out who it was about and asked this man for a comment.

We asked him whether he knew about the accusations against him, whether he was involved in the rape and what he could say about it.

"I can't even say anything. There was no such thing in our Palace, the choir. I worked for many years. I can't even say what the purpose of this information is. I think it has some purpose. To blackmail me? In my entire life, I have never enemies. I remember this girl, now she is a screenwriter and director. I have never had a conflict with her. I

need to do something to put this person in her place.

On the other hand, I am already 81 years old," he answered he to us

The police started an investigation

In turn, the investigation of the Kyiv police has already started checking the information made public by Hanna Khizhnyak.

The spokeswoman of the capital police, Yulia Girdvilis,

informed us about this

.

According to the preliminary data of the law enforcement officers, there has not yet been a statement about the commission of this crime.
